ParticipantI think the REAL reason that they left so much “stuff” is because their moving vans were filled to the brim with better “stuff” that they had aquired via using their houses like ATM machines.
What was being shown on the video were their cast-off belongings that were simply more trouble than they were worth to move.
As you can tell I have not one bit of empathy for these morons!

ParticipantSo the back story is………
Bought the house brand new in 1994 for 155K. Because of the recession the house’s value was stagnate for about 8 years.
Our house was broken into TWICE in 6 months and we said Fu^@! this town and everyone in it. Was listed for sale on a Thursday in Nov 2003 and by that Saturday we had 15 offers, all of them over our listing price of 275K. After enduring all those years with zero appreciation we were flabergasted that the market had skyrocketed so quickly.
Alot of my work comes from San Diego so I talked the wife into buying a boat and living on it in San Diego bay for 6 months til we figured out what part of Diego we’d buy our next house in.
The next 2 years’ leisure time consisted of the Mrs. taking me thru open houses…….Steam would be coming from my ears after about 4 of 5 of em because of the outrageous prices……. The rest of the weekend would be misc. arguing/yelling.
In addition to this weekend “fun” I monitored the price escalation of the neighborhood we sold in……It rose to 400K and I was calm, just grateful that we made what we did……then it went up to 500K and I started feeling a little queazy…….at 600K I think I threw up in my mouth!
So there you have it…… the root cause of my maniacal laughing at other peoples’ misery!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…….cheers Lucifer, make the next round a double.

ParticipantSvelte, your good fortune with American iron is better than most. I was a car wholesaler back in the late eighties and nineties. I had hundreds and hundreds of cars sift thru my hands. The build quality of american cars during that period was pathetic!
They are closer to japanese and european quality now, but in this auto enthusiast’s opinion they aren’t there yet.
Because of my first hand experiences back then I swore that I’d never buy an american made car for myself, especially a GM.
Fast forward 20 years and my wife fell in love with the Cadillac XLR, so I gave in and just bought a used 2005. Now you’d think that GM’s flagship car (75 grand new) from their flagship car division would showcase there quality right?
We’ve owned the car for about 2 months and it has been back to the dealer 4 times with a laundry list of problems.
I rotate cars more often than a lot of people shower, and over the last 10 years I have not had this many problems with all of my Japanese/German cars…………….COMBINED!
GM outta be ashamed of themselves!
